Harvard University is a dream school for many children, a top private research university, an Ivy League school, a global university presidents forum, and a member of the Global University Higher Education Alliance. You'll always walk to Harvard University in Boston, and you may not see the lights still on in the early hours of the morning, but you will feel a strong sense of history.

The Granite Rock Monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British and the North American colonial militias (well I admit I'm checking it now) Now this is the terminal of Boston's Freedom Road. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park to think of the top of the stone tablet. The only way is to climb a total of 294 steps, and mark the numbers every other section, so that people who are panting and climbing have a number of monuments in their hearts. In fact, there is only a small space, but looking out through the small windows on all sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is also worth it ~

MFA is one of the three largest art galleries in the United States, and has a lot of wonderful works. As a result, the admission fee is also more expensive than other art museums, but I was able to save the admission fee after I went to Juneteenth commemorative free admission day! You can check the admission schedule on the website, so it is recommended to check in advance. Especially Monet's works were so pretty!

[Fun] There are various foods on the first floor of Quincy Market. It is recommended to find a seat first, because the seat is difficult to find, and it is full when you go. There are also various chic boutiques and specialty stores selling jewelry, clothing, and souvenirs. [View] It is very close to the Boston Harbor dock, and it is very convenient to take a boat or take a photo at the port. Quincy Market itself is a historical landmark, with ancient city council halls, trade markets, Quincy presidential statues, etc., one of the must-visit attractions in Bocheng.

Aquariums

The Boston Aquarium (New England Aquarium) is a place that both adults and children will like. It is better to go there in the morning, because you will not inspect it in 1 hour, and to get inside you need to stand in line for another half hour.The building itself has an unusual architecture, there is an Aquarium on the shore of the bay, there is a pier nearby, where there are both large ships and small yachts. From here, by the way, you can go to a meeting with whales by buying a hotel ticket at the Aquarium. A group of people is recruited, everyone is loaded onto the ship, raincoats are distributed and sent to the ocean, it is here that you can observe whales firsthand.The Aquarium also has its own cinema, which broadcasts films about the aquatic world, and you can get there for a fee.The entire exposition is built like a spiral, in the center of which there is a large aquarium, which can be viewed imperceptibly rising higher and higher. There are 3 or 4 such floors in total. In a large aquarium you can see sharks, giant turtles, and just various fish.There are smaller aquariums around the perimeter, in which incredibly beautiful jellyfish and smaller fish swim.Speaking of penguins, they are almost a landmark in Boston, even in the subway you can see large posters with them. The pond with penguins is located at the very bottom, it is divided into several sectors, because 3 (if I'm not mistaken) species of penguins live there. There are special "rocks" built there, where penguins pose for visitors. On the Aquarium's official website, you can find bird feeding hours, we really wanted to see this spectacle. Several workers in special suits descend into the pond, they have containers with fish and a tablet in which they apparently mark their wards. Penguins already know that they will be fed and rush to the workers, surround them and wait for the fish to fall to them. And visitors are watching with emotion from the balconies.

Boston Park is also a representative attraction in Boston, and it is also the starting point of the road to freedom. Most of the travel plans also start from this park. As one of the oldest parks in the United States, there is a 4-mile road to freedom on foot. Follow the signs on the ground and walk all the way through Boston's historical sites. In summer, there will be concerts here, and the little squirrels on the ground are not afraid of people, and they go around, the sun through the cracks of the trees, and the sun shines a little bit. You can also see various monuments in the park. It is very suitable for when the weather is clear. Everything seems very pleasant to stroll here. There are also lakes and gardens in the park, you can bring picnic mats to enjoy the spring atmosphere here.

A Boston essential. Not only good for book lovers, but fans of art and history will love this refuge right in the heart of the city. Be respectful if you visit just for some photos, it is an active community resource hub and welcoming event space year round.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the center of Boston in terms of location. If you take a hotel near this, you can reach it immediately wherever you go. There seem to be many Chinese shops, but there are Japanese food and it is very delicious.

Rivers

The Charles River across Boston, the river is very wide, and you can see many sailing boats and kayaks on the shore. The river looks very clean. Harvard, MIT, Boston University and other world-class institutions of higher learning are built on the river. It feels like a very dynamic area. The view is particularly good when the weather is good, envious of the children who can go to school here
